TESTIMONIALS

– “I like that everything’s in one place: I can ask the app to read for me, I can see images and I can also hear audio. I don't need to look words up in a dictionary, or search for images or video clips.” – A fourth-grade student

– “This is a great app even for established readers because they can learn new words and phrases along the way and improve their reading skills.” – A fourth-grade teacher

– “My daughter reads really well, but I feel she doesn't fully understand what she reads. This app can help her with that.” – Parent of a third-grader

– “WhizRead is helpful for my son, who is more of a visual and auditory learner.” – Parent of a fifth-grader

– “This is a great tool for my students from other countries. When I try to explain a word or phrase, I can immediately show them a picture instead of trying to explain it with words.” – A first-grade teacher
